Our Friend Sean Baptiste, community manager from Harmonix will be calling in around 3:00 pm. His company makes Rock Band, and surely you have questions for him. Personally, I want to know how long ’til we get Pinkerton for DLC.

Post your questions in the comments for this post!

Thanks again to John from What They Play for coming on and chatting with us . . . and for the link-in!

While John had little information on the mysterious EGM Desert Bus preview of 10 or so years ago, we’re interested to know more. Unfortunately, we don’t know the date or issue number . . . but if you have a copy and can somehow replicate it for us, we’d appreciate it a lot! stuff@desertbus.org

The endless desert really captures the lonliness of desert bus experience.

The Beard-Off Challenge

Our most bearded member, one Paul Saunders, has challenged the internet.

He doesn’t think you all have it in you. Oh yeah. No way are you going to donate more than last year. Darn right. In fact, he’s so sure, that he’s putting his manly beard on the line.

So, if we raise more than $22,805, the beard goes.

Here is a photoshopped projection of how he could look afterwards.

Could this be the face of Paul?

Who Could Have Guessed It Would Be $11,000?

I cannot believe $11,000! Can it really be $11,000? I love $11,000! Don’t you?

Some amazing generosity and chatroom participation pushed us to break $10,000 before Jer began his driving shift. Thanks everyone!
